SUBMIT AN ITEM FOR FREE APPRAISAL

We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.

We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.

Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.

D. Jefferson Nicole error on the back side it looks like a rose in the middle of coin and double died on date

No error or doubling evident in this sorry old nickel.

D. 1997 U.S. Penny

Wow when did 1997 become old?

D. 1995 U.S. Penny

We call this a "cent".

D. Buffalo nickels 3-1936 1-1937. There are only 5 with legendible dates they were discolored when I found them

Collectors like to know the date and all of these are common. I put the group at $3-5 total.

D. Need help which is Proof coin?

None of these look like proof coins. Proof coins are made with specially polished dies and are quite reflective. These look like regular issue coins, possibly mint state. I think these date to the 1970s, which renders them close to face value.

D. Sorry. 1st time send in a picture and be in on your site didn't realize it was gonna post them all at once they're pretty self explanatory though. I'm just trying to get a feel of prices. I've got books and books of all different types and errors I have paper Currency also star notes and fancy serial numbers American. Is that something that you guys would be interested in?

I think the only error here is calling these errors. I am interested in them as coins, and you have some silver there. How can we reach you? My number is 649-3317, area code 914.

D. Last number on the date is damaged. Dime with multiple damages

This could be the ugliest dime I've ever seen in my career. Yes, it has much damage. And there seems to be a lot of confusion between damaged coins and mint errors. Mint errors happen in the production of the coin, before they leave the mint. Sometimes they have value. Damage, which takes place after they leave the mint, does nothing but decrease the value of a coin.
